Hi..newbie here.

Pat, is the word "canoe" part of your nickname because you like to canoe? It's one of the things I had to give up when fibromyalgia took over my life. I still have my canoe hanging in my garage for "someday" to come . . .

Welcome to our friendly little group. And welcome to all our new members in case I haven't had a chance to do it individually. Read our posts and ask your questions. You'll get the answers you want and the help you need. We're all in this together.

"The real secret of success is enthusiasm..." thanks, Walter P. Chrysler. I believe it. That's what I want in my life--to give my imagination a chance, to live with energy and enthusiasm! P.S. I looked up enthusiasm, and it says the root words mean God within... interesting...!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said 'Life belongs to the energetic.' But you don't have to be frenetic and hyper--some energy is quiet and steady, like a heartbeat... and that works too! LOL
